"For years l have had a chest trouble
amounting to nothing short Of consumption.
| saw how others in like condition had been
cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and resolved to test it's
merits in my own case The results are so
plane as hardly to require bitStock or any
auger-ment in favor Of this CRATE remedy. 1t

fail" He adz: my recovery, which is
now on sure foundation, hinges entirely on
the compass Of this wonderful Restorative,
having tried other remedies without bit
Of relief"

Mrs Peters had Ills,
Mrs Peters had chills,
Mrs. Peters was sure she was going to die;
They dosed her with pills,
With powders and squills,
With remedies wet, and with remedies dry.
Many medicines lured her.
But none of them cured her,
Their names and their number nobody could tell;
And she soon might have died
But some Pellets" were tried,
That acted like magic, and then she got well.
The magic "Pellets' were DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets (the original
Little Liver Pills). They cured Mrs. Peters,
and now she wouldn't be without them.

Capitalization Of Power.

CENTRALIzATION of power in the
hands of the federal government is
dangerous in whatever form it may
assume, and not the less so when it
takes the shape of a proposition to
place under government control
the telegraph and telephone lines
of the country.
1t is true enough that the people
are to-day at the mercy of grasping
monopolies with respect to these
matters, but it would only be fly
ing from ills they know to those
they know not of, for the people to
hand over to the government the
control of these important agents
of business and everyday inter-
course.
Besides this, the proposition to
turn to the government for relief
in this matter has q bad look. It is
a virtual admission that the people
are no longer able to cope with
monopoly, and are willing that
laws which have been passed for
the restraint and regulation of
powerful corporations shall remain
as dead letters upon the statute
books.

Teachers Work in the School.

IN what pertains to their own
special work, the teacher should be
consulted, as the time has. come
when acting, Influential, living, and
moving teachers shall influence
educational work. It is conceded
that lawyers are learned in their
profession, the doctors only are
consulted in matters pertaining to
health, and the teachers should or
ought to, make the educational
system for the present and the
future. The teacher in his work
should be equal to any of the other
learned professions, and should be
SO recognized. All the force there
is in teaching is given direction by
the instructors skill. 1t cannot b 6
mapped out by any authority out
side the school. In oil that con-
Germs what they are employed to
do, the teacher should be able to
direct the way. They should be
known to be capable of doing this
before they are employed. Then,
when their qualifications are known
the school should be left to their
management.

Banker Harper's Conviction.

Justice has laid her grasp on T.
l.. Harper, the knavish President
of the Cincinnati Fidelity Bank, In
a gratifying way. His own testi-
mony was sufficient to prove him
guilty, and other proof was over
whelming. Immediately after the
verdict Of the jury, on the 18th
inst, II motion for arrest of judy
ment WAS overruled and Mr.. Har-
per wss sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary. A request that
the order for immediate imprison-
ment be suspended was refused,
and before the day closed he was
on his way to State PRISON.
The crime for which Harper suf-
fers was that of speculating on
other peoples money of which he
was. the professional care-taker.
He represents style oftransgress-
or which has become rather num-
erous of late years, and his punish
ment is demanded by the greatest
of all public interests.
The State authorities should see
that the sentence of the court is
carried into effect both in letter
and spirit.

Pressive war taxes demand relief,
which if not granted will precipi-

are two entirely different things.

WHAT an ungenial position is
that occupied by the laboring men,
in that they oppose everything at

capitalists, except in the matter of
tariff. With regard to the matter
of taxation, the rich manufacturer
advocates high tariff, to relieve
himself from the burden of tax

and strange to say many of the
laborers agree to his selfish dogma.
Nothing is or can be more ldiamet-

of one who is dependent on labor
for his support. Take two famil-
lar examples toillustrate the work.

There was considerable inquiry
last'week as to what has become
of the Gibisonville correspondent.
Well here we are.
For the past week, we have had
lots of rain, but not much water.
Business has been very slack at
our place for the past few days.
DR.. ]. F. Miller, our Village ply
sician, is doing right we'll at pres

calls that are made. Only two In
about 80 minutes last Sunday.
Miss Mary Hutchinson is kept
busy sewing for the neighbors, not
withstanding there is a sewing
machine in almost every house in
the community. Mary is an ex-
pert at the s. NJ, this accounts for
the many calls she receives. Sue
cess to you Mary.

No. 8, Miss Iva Dollison's School,
last Tuesday night. Also one at
the Gibisonville Special, on Friday
night. They were both we'll attends

Mr.. Chauncy Hoffman, our new

ing gone with Mr.. w. +. Hood to

needed changes in his store room
before placing his stock Of goods
therein.
Mr.. Hutchison's new express is
not done yet, why? because the
workman has gone, and Tom does
not know when he will return.
William Vancuren has purchas-

Mr.. Augustus Raymond is hob

during the late war and received Il

Chu Ming Has Peculiar Funeral.
From, the New York Times.
Chu Ming Mey 500, a Christian China
man, died at the Presbyterian Hospital last
Wednesday of consumption, and was buried
yesterday in Evergreens Cemetery.
When Bret Harte placed it on record that
''the heather Chinoa is peculiar" he ex-
pressed an unnecessary limitation. Chris
tiani2ing the "Chinee" does not deprive him
altogether of his innate peculiarities, as the
manner of Chu Ming hey Soos funeral
we'll illustrates. The ceremonies We're
taken in hand by Chu Chow,
cousin, who, upon consultation with the
brother and friends of the deceased, some
of them converted, but most Of them still
lingering in "heathen blindness decided
that, as the Christian service was made
uuate in its provisions for the future state
of the departed, they would first permit the
Christina service to he performed, ond,
when that was well out of the way, supply
its imperfections and make their assurances
regarding the future doubly sure by cele-
brating the Chinese ritual.
Accordingly they began their prepare
tons soon after Chu 500 died. A decent
Difference to the sentiments of their
Christian friends required them TO proceed
secretly and most unostentatiously with
theic native practices. Anxious that their
friends body should be in n respectable con
dition for tranSpo tat.on to the Flowcry
Kingdom some three years hence, they cast
around for an cmbalmcr. The usual tenn
porary preservation Of the body for burial,
Ivy placing it on ice, has never been salts
factory to them, and they determined 10
have il kept as nearly rs possible intact
Therefore. Embalmer Graham, who is also
sexton Of the church where the de
ceased attended, was employed He was
provided with a complete suit of new
clothes for the deceased, consisting of
bleached linen unierbIouse and drawers,
dark blue cotton outer blouse and panta-
looms, bleached linen stockings with felt
soles, felt shoes aud black silk turban hat
After the corpse had beeu arrayed in these
n well-worn silver pc. piece was placed in
his mouth and bunch OF credentials in each
hand. These credentials were composed of
black paper with white inscriptions ami
white paper with black Inscriptions, and
were bound with white silk narrow ribbons

formed. the Rev i. " Marlinp oliiciat-
